Pale Horse Brewery & Distillery are the purveyors of the area's finest lager and the cleanest vodka. They have also created the popular Stitch 'Em Up Kit, as a safety measure for their customer base. Across the street in Leicht Memorial Park, the operation grows its hops, potatoes, and other crops to be used in its creations. P.H.B.D. employs eight people full time: two act solely as guards, one is the distribution manager. There are three brewers and two act as distillers. Locals and drifters are hired for periods of time to help with harvests, heavy lifting, and some brewing operations. All jobs over lap occasionally.
The walls are unevenly patched where brick doesn't show through. Windows on the bottom floor have been boarded up and blocked, and the entire building smells of hops brewing for the entire year.
Building:
The building has remained in good repair, with minor replacement of its brick work. The surrounding train tracks have since been scavenged by locals for recycling. P.H.B.D. is protected by a mismatched iron fence, probably foraged from government and other historic buildings nearby. There is a long projection of roof running on its South East side that covers the old train platform. It is a two story building.
The bottom floor has two entrances. One outside door opens to the train platform on the SE side. The other opens opposite, onto what used to be Donald Driver Way. Both doors open into the old waiting room. This room contains the ticket office, which now acts as a security check and distribution room. The waiting room is connected by an 11 foot doorway to the old lunchroom, now a sort of store and storage room for shipments.
Below this is the basement, where most of the distilling and brewing takes place. It is one large room with several different work stations. This area is kept extremely clean and tidy.
The top floor is used for a small distribution office, and a large storage space containing a bed for an overnight guard, and kennels for 2 guard dogs.
A defining feature of this building is its tall clock tower, which now acts as a look-out post with ladders running inside.
History:
The P.H.B.D. building was constructed in the late 1890s as a a depot for the Chicago & Northwestern Railway. In 1996, the building was used as a brewing operation and restaurant by the Titletown Brewing Company. 20 years ago, the building was once again reopened as a brewery by Pale Horse. Today, Pale Horse creates Wisconsin's finest alcoholic beverages.
Before the Event, Milwaukee was the area's primary location for beer creation. However, with the destruction of much of its downtown area, all brewing operation was ended. The Pale Horse Brewery & Distillery in Green Bay now acts as the largest professional brewing & distilling operation in the state.
